It is important to check the delivery period when ordering as it is no longer possible to send outside that time. Plants are only sent when dormant. Instructions on how to treat your purchases can be found at the top of each group under "About". Paper instructions are not sent out. If you are buying as a present please tell the recipient to look at the instructions on here. Prices are per plant. Please send any messages regarding orders separate to you order as there is a problem reading them on my system. Please check plants on arrival as no replacements will be sent at a later date if the plants fail. Please notify me of any transit damages within 14 days of receipt.

Gymnadenia conopsea

This is our native Fragrant Orchid. There are two types the "Chalk Fragrant" and the neutral varient which is the one usually offered for sale. It has a small tuber with little fingers and begins growth in the early spring, flowering in June. The heavy scent attracts a range of moths including a number of hawk moths. It is an ideal addition for a garden or meadow to help attract these moths and other insects. It is important to keep the tubers cool but watered during the autumn because the tuber will absorb water and develop a good root system before the end of the year. The bud will not break through until the early spring. This is a beautiful orchid for an alpine house as its scent is very strong on a calm June evening.
Tubers are sent out to UK customers potted when they are dormant; in this case AUGUST to MARCH. Please contact me within 14 days if there are problems with the tubers.
